Joseph was amazing! His knowledge about and passion for this beautiful city was evident and made our time with him a highlight of our visit!

Our walking tour was amazing. Angelique was our guide and she did a phenomenal job. She was very personable and knowledgeable about the Gothic Quarters and Sagrada Familia. I would highly recommend the walking tour.

This tour was a wonderful way to become oriented to Barcelona and as a bonus, learn a lot about Spanish and Catalonian history. The tour includes an extensive walking tour of the Gothic Quarter, a bus ride to/through Montjuic and a final stop at the Sagrada Familia, where you gain easy entrance for a self-guided tour at your leisure. Angelique is absolutely delightful and a wealth of information about Barcelona in general, the Gothic Quarter, restaurants in Barceloneta, Antoni Gaudi, etc. You won't be disappointed.

Two days before arriving in Barcelona I remembered that we had not signed up for our ship's inside tour of La Sagrada Familia. YIKES! Unfortunately, both ship's tours were booked. Fortunately I brought with me contact information about other tour companies recommended by Viator...one was Cataluny Tours. So I called them. They were able to arrange for an inside tour of the cathedral along with a 4 hour total walking tour with Angelique. In addition to this being short notice, it was Easter week! Unbelievable! The tour was perfect. Angelique did not stop talking about Barcelona as she took us through the Gothic quarter and much more seeing the white geese. She also recommended a local restaurant for lunch paella and other delicacies, which was a culinary experience. We even had our own van and driver! I cannot say enough good things about the quality of this tour. And it was Angelique's day off!! Be sure and ask for her. Viator, thank you for your recommendations...I really rely on them.

We did this tour with Angelique last week and it was absolutely terrific. Relaxed, entertaining, funny and informative. Angelique has a great style and loads of information to impart. We really enjoyed our tour and would have loved to have done other tours with her if we had more time. She provided us with lots of useful facts about spanish culture and information about the best places to eat and other interesting places to go. If you want an enjoyable and relaxed introduction to the city of Barcelona and Spain in general, I would highly recommend this tour - and ask for Angelique - she was great!

We loved this tour! We went on it primarily to see La Sagrada Familia, but the rest of the tour turned out to be the highlight. From Angelique, our super tour guide, we not only saw many parts of the Gothic Quarter we never would have seen, but also learned a lot about history and modern culture. Angelique made a good tour extraordinary! She also pointed out many things about La Sagrada Familia that helped us appreciate the beauty and history of the building!!
